Bismillah
Hey. So I'm in that stage in life where I need to start looking for a future spouse which seems to be pretty daunting so far. I took it upon myself to start searching now, before my mother starts throwing proposals my way.
I would say I am pretty firm in my Iman and may Allah keep me guided. I would say I started praying on and off at around the end of my high school years. Then the journey to strengthen my Iman began.
Like most people we question our beliefs after you leave school and Alhamdulillah, Allah made it easy to gain knowledge in the deen. But nonetheless, I'm still layman and hope to continue learning.
But firming my foundation was nice and all but during Ramadan 2022, Allah answered my Duas, and I got a really good job with plenty of space to grow with the company, Alhamdulillah. Ever since then, I've tried to always have tawakkul in anything I do.
Getting the job was a surprise because I am still pursuing my professional certification. I guess this is where I start talking about my qualifications.
I've completed my ALs in 2017/18. Got average grades
Took a nice vacation to USA and came back (to the middle east by the way, i live here)Started to study Accounting and obtained my Diploma in Business and Accounting. After that working on my professional certification was pretty slow and I got desperate for a job so that I could get a bit of independence
and stop feeling guilty spending my parent's money for the exams. But since I got the job, it's been slow. I've been gaining good experience though with my company. And I hope to get into the family business
after having a few years of corporate experience so that I have a safety net. I think you can tell that I really dislike studying. But it is what it is. I have to complete it somehow. But the work experience has bought me more time. Alhamdulilah.
When it comes to family, I have 3 older brothers. All of them are married. I would say I have very different conversations between the three. Being the youngest means it took much longer to emotionally mature.
My conversations with the oldest is more like a teacher-student relationship. Always advising me and helping me out with situations.
The second is more of a "so what movies have you watched recently" type of brother & very helpful when needed.
The third brother is more of a "did you watch the game last night" or "did you play last night"
We both bond over Football or video games. We play as well, I mean I do regularly. He joins every other week or so.
So that brings it to what I do to kill time. More often that not, I'd play some games with my school friends online. Usually woulda lost touch with them after school but fortunately we had the same interests.
I have other friends I hang out with at well on the weekends. Either go football or dinner. Or something more fun during Eid or other holidays.
I enjoy football, tennis, badminton and swimming (from time to time, i get sick of it after a while, too much effort needed
)Also I obviously hope to travel a lot with my future wife. I like to drive long distances as well so renting a car abroad is a must.
I don't really have any dislikes. I'd do anything really if it was with the right people. I guess I'm afraid of heights so I wouldn't do anything like mountain climbing or sky diving.
When it comes to my future, I hope to somehow stay in the middle east because the world is getting crazy outside and I want to raise my kids here.
Life is not difficult when you follow the Qur'an and Sunnah. Just need to say your daily adhkar and pray on time. The rest will follow.
